No, that's definitely no bug! There is in the first frame minibuffer 
waiting for your input. And since there is only one such thing, yet, 
you can't use it for something different somewhere else.

I think too it would be a nice enhancement if every frame would have 
its own minibuffer. I remember that from time to time I had to use more 
than one Emacs running to get things together for an input to 
minibuffer (could have sorted this out in scratch buffer -- but then I 
would have needed to remember how I made minibuffer awaiting my input 
...)
